Important Safety Information
Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products
described in this manual.
Safety Precautions for
Children
Tragedy can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of
children. Children generally are
attracted to attachments and their
work.
Never assume children will remain
where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area
and under the watchful eye of a
responsible adult.
Be alert and shut the attachment
and skid steer/track loader down if
children enter the work area.
Never carry children on the power
machine or attachment. There is
not a safe place for them to ride.
They may fall off and be run over
or interfere with the control of the
power machine.
Never allow children to operate the
power machine, even under adult
supervision.
Never allow children to play on the
power machine or attachment.
Use extra caution when backing
up. Before the power machine
starts to move, look down and
behind to make sure the area is
clear.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be performed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
Always maintain correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate tires
above recommended pressures
shown in the Operator's Manual.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
Securely support the attachment
when changing a wheel.
When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Make sure wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.

Transport Safely
Comply with federal, state, and
local laws.
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity. Secure
equipment towed on a trailer with
tie downs and chains.
Sudden braking can cause a towed
trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if towed trailer is not
equipped with brakes.
Avoid contact with any overhead
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
Always drive with load on end of
loader arms low to the ground.
Always drive straight up and down
steep inclines with heavy end of
skid steer or tractor with loader
attachment on the "uphill" side.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing
work. Refer to the Operator's Manual
for additional information.
Work on a level surface in a clean
dry area that is well-lit.
Lower attachment to the ground and
follow all shutdown procedures
before leaving the operator's seat to
perform maintenance.
Do not work under any hydraulic
supported equipment. It can settle,
suddenly leak down, or be lowered
accidentally. If it is necessary to work
under the equipment, securely
support it with stands or suitable
blocking beforehand.
Use properly grounded electrical
outlets and tools.
Use correct tools and equipment for
the job that are in good condition.
Allow equipment to cool before
working on it.
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
Maximum transport speed for an
attached equipment is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
attached equipment:
20 mph when weight of attached
equipment is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the equipment.
10 mph when weight of attached
equipment exceeds weight of
machine towing equipment but
not more than double the weight.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the vehicle towing the load.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on equipment.
Inspect all parts. Make certain parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
Replace parts on this attachment
with genuine Land Pride parts only.
Do not alter this attachment in a way
which will adversely affect its
performance.
Do not grease or oil attachment
while it is in operation.
Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
Always make sure any material and
waste products from the repair and
maintenance of the attachment are
properly collected and disposed.
Remove all tools and unused parts
before operation.
